- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Step-by-Step

- Remove from the oven and allow the sheet to cool completely on the pan for 5 minutes to improve the structural integrity of the noodles.

Keep It Fresh
Store these in the fridge for three days. Use an airtight container to keep them fresh. Slice them ahead of time for easy meals. Reheat them gently in a warm pan. Avoid boiling them in water like wheat pasta. This keeps their delicate texture perfect.
Tips for Best Results
- Use room temperature eggs for a smooth batter.
- Don’t skip the xanthan gum for the chew.
- Spread the batter thin for the best results.
- Let the sheet cool before you start slicing.
- For winter, add these to a warm broth.
- Use a pizza wheel for even ribbons.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the noodles flexible.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Whisk in fresh chopped parsley for a bright herbal note.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for a classic European flavor.
- Swap the garlic powder for onion powder for a milder taste.
- Use a sprinkle of black pepper for a little extra kick.
Common Questions
Can I make these without a blender?
A blender ensures the cream cheese is smooth. You can use a whisk with very soft cheese. However, the texture is best with a blender.
Will these noodles get soggy?
These noodles hold their shape well in sauce. Do not boil them in water first. Simply toss them into warm sauce before serving.
I hope these noodles bring comfort to your winter nights. They make a healthy reset feel like a treat. Happy cooking!
